There is a good bit of sarcastic comedy and wittiness. Honestly starts out a little clunky but I think it's intentional. Great story well acted in unique style by the lead. It's always fun to see a film truly evolve as the characters do and I think that's what you get here as the main actor is also the director and writer. Just a good movie that touches each emotion sometimes in unique and engaging ways.

This movie feels like curling up and reading a good book. It captured every single detailed I could feel all the emotions threw the screen. I was so intrigued the whole movie. I was crying then laughing the crying again. I'm so excited to see more from Cooper!!!

This is not a high rating Really bad story that latterly goes nowhere. It's not a feel good movie It's not a coming of age flick It's not a comedy and it's not good. Do yourself a massive favor and watch something that's worth your time - trust me this really isn't.

It was a very sweet movie. Made me laugh as well. Glad it didn't have the ending some would've wanted. Not really sure where all the hate comes in, or how this movie has ruined weekends. It was a good enough movie that you didn't have to pay extra for, that's for sure!

This was the other film I was privileged to see during Sundance and it's most likely gonna go down as one of my favorites of the year. Cha Cha Real Smooth has more of a personal connection to me with how it treats leaving home while you still have a younger sibling there. It really resonated with me and I'm not ashamed to say that the final scene of the film almost made me cry. It hit very close to home. The performances here are great. Major props to Cooper Raiff for Directing, Writing, and starring in this because the writing and his performance were fantastic. His direction was pretty good but the writing and acting outshined it. His character feels very realistic. He gets in over his head a lot but tries his best to make others feel happy and he usually succeeds at it. Dakota Johnson did a great job as well along with Vanessa Burghardt who plays her daughter. All of these characters that Raiff wrote are great. They feel personal and well thought out and play a major impact into the story. As you can tell, it was the characters and writing that really sold me for this film because those aspects genuinely are fantastic. The music and editing were good but really weren't anything that special. I would highly recommend checking this film out whenever it hits theaters or streaming services if you want a more personal kind of story.

This is a movie about a child's mental autism to be addressed by a clown that hosts Bar Mitzvah parties, but it is continuously boring and accomplishes nothing what the movie intends. Scene after scene becomes redundant because it is wasted in too many re-runs of so many parties in the film and contributes to its foolishness. There is nothing silly or funny about this movie, only a waste of time. If there is a love affair between the two main characters, I'm sorry, I fell asleep or stopped watching.

In 2021, the Audience Award at Sundance went to CODA. I loved CODA, so when the Audience Award in 2022 went to Cha Cha Real Smooth, I really wanted to watch this once it hit AppleTV+. What a disappointment. My main problem with this movie is Cooper Raiff as Andrew. I just never believed that this type of person exists out there in the real world. At all. And when you don't find him to be a credible character, the whole thing just falls apart.
